It should be D. You cannot reduce the amount of phosphates that 'had been allowed' because that dumping has already been done. You can only reduce the amount that can be dumped from now on. Only D makes it clear.

it should be A

"had been" means it reduced the amount that was allowed before 1972
"are" means amount is still same as that reduced in 1972
But there might be further reduction after 1972. So "had been" is correct

[Guest]

this question is in og 11 - 62.


Anyway answer is d.

[dps]

Can a MGMAT instructor please explain this?

Correct ans is D
D. that municipalities are allowed to dump

Why is it are instead of had been?

The agreement reduced the amount of dumping allowed before 1972, so shouldn't it be had been?

sorry, but i had to delete this one. we cannot host copies of OG questions here. as a result, we no longer discuss them on our forum.

it's so irrational, why can't we discuss questions from OG here? because it infringes on their copy right? how about GMAC giving each one who have bought their books a unique code and allowing people to use the code to discuss their questions freely here?

GMAC has politely asked us to refrain from posting the text of the problems.
